At McMusic Lessons & Performances, we believe that music is more than just hitting the right notes—it’s about understanding the “why” and “how” behind every melody. Today, we are sharing a featured performance of “The McWaltz” (Piano Sonata No. 3), an original composition by our lead instructor, Kevin McClain.
About “The McWaltz”
”The McWaltz” is a reflection of Kevin’s deep background in music theory and classical composition. This piece showcases the blend of traditional waltz rhythms with modern improvisational flair. For students of the piano, “The McWaltz” serves as a perfect example of how a solid foundation in music theory and spatial awareness within abstract thought processes can lead to the creation of original art.
